Blog (Shopping) - Visit The New Forest

Christmas shopping time! But if the annual retail-fest fills you with dread, may we make a suggestion? Ignore the big cities with their samey high streets, their soulless shopping centres and giant parking fees and head instead to the magical New Forest. Not only will you be supporting independent traders, you’re sure to find the kind of individual gifts and items you just can’t get in town.

Here in the New Forest we’re famous for our beautiful countryside and our roaming ponies but did you know we also have some of the best shopping around?
